My Review:
This was such a fun and interesting book! Having read many of Miss Morris’s books, I was expecting this one to be good, and my expectations were rewarded!
I loved how the author did not reveal everything the main character (Jim Wood) knew until the time was right, keeping the reader in suspense and letting him/her discover vital pieces of information relating to the mystery along the way. I also enjoyed meeting the citizens of the town in the story as Jim did and trying to decide with him which were trustworthy. And as another reviewer mentioned, Miss Morris’s descriptions of scenes are wonderful!
This was a great story, and I eagerly started reading the next book in the series once I finished Jim Wood. (Review coming soon!) 🙂
I just read this last night for the first time! I’m making myself wait awhile before I read the next two in this series. 😄 I enjoyed your review of the book!
I can’t wait to read this!!!!
